su"s Mwrisan, Mrs lAsery $ Dr. Tutons two I W.D.B14M. together
with Mrs H"t"n and Mrs Greeley who" advice bad been sought
in oomestion with the subject of sonInt
In the absence of Mrs Ballard Mrs Emry consented to serve
an chairman and called on Xre Hartmons first stating that some Of
the Board felt that no steps should be taken In eonaeoUon with
zoning without the employment of expert advices whereas others
believed,, Inanuoh as no appropriation for this VUrPOSS was likely
to be made by the Towns that with the assistance Of Mrs IlArtMent
Mrs Greeley and others as well as with help fr(a the .state 11ouseo
the Planning Board itself could devise and put through the neo-
esa&17 measures& hll were agreed that the Sumdiate, need for
zoning regulations was imperative.
Mrs Hartimn in reply stated that any partial system of
zoning would be ill advised, as In instances quoted such regula-
tions had not been upheld by the courts*
Well considered and carefully studied measures for an entire
oommnity had been upheldp hmovery througbout the country, TO
devise such measures without proper expert assistance he consIdered
"extremely hazardous"# and assistance Of this sort was much
cheaper than subsequent litigation*
The cost of such help was negligible s4k few hwAred dollars--
zoning men rather than Town Planners would be the beat to call
upon, among whm he mentioned John Pox who has done excellent
work in Winchester and other placess Mrs corny of Cambridgev and
others
The steps to be taken would be as follows%

of building plantax factoriess service stations, stores#
residences and the like a maps, In short, showing graphically
